#AleppoVolcano: a call for hope by civil activists

Der al Zour, one important key city on the Iraq Syria borders has fallen to the control of ISIS last week. On the other hand, Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city and the capital of the liberated north is undergoing severe pressure by the army of Assad, Aleppo’s civil activists launched the following call #AleppoVolcano to assemble all the operating brigades of the Free Syrian Army and defend the city, the north’s hope in the face of Assad.

After the rapid fall of Der al Zour, a key city on the Iraq-Syria border, to the control of ISIS last week, and the escalation of Assad army against Aleppo combined with the ever-growing reluctance of the International community, civil activists in Aleppo and all over Syria launch a call in support for the FSA, Free Syrian Army, calling its different brigades in Aleppo and its countryside to form a centralized operations leadership named: #AleppoVolcano” and stand in the face of the sectarian militias attempting under the Assad regime leadership to besiege, hunger and control the city.

Beside an appeal for a centralized operation command room, the main elements of the call were:

– An appeal for all civil, medial and relief activists to coordinate and follow up with the centralized leadership once established

– Awareness campaigns among the inhabitants of Aleppo to update them and notify them of the challenges to come.

The call made it very clear that arms stockpiles should not be prevented from the reach of FSA, and that whoever owns them should put them at the service of the fighters in this historical moment in the life of the revolution.

Glory for martyrs, Freedom for detainees, recovery for wounded ones and victory to the revolution of dignity.

The same call for action was circulated again in the last few days of the current month July, due to the continuous humanitarian crisis of 200 thousand refugee besieged by regime forces since more than 5 months.

The call for action addressed all people of the world, Islamic countries and international community mentioning some heart breaking facts about the humanitarian crisis at the largest camps of Palestinian refugees in the neighboring countries of Palestine.

The call is general drew attention to the continuous and growing crisis, concentrating on some critical points that risk the lives of hundreds of thousands among them hundreds of kids and babies.

The most important points of the call are:

– so far, we managed to track more than 25 suicide attempts at Palestinian Camps in Syria. Most of them are girls.

– Urgent needs of milk for babies, clothes, medications, and Diapers.

– Hundreds of families are coming apart

– Shutters are overcrowded and uninhabitable

– UNRWA is giving one pack of food for 200 thousand families. (500 packs per day), which means 400 days to cover everyone (some families will get its share after 1 year)

– All Palestinian institutions are not working including Palestinian Arab Red Crescent (PARC)

– All operating NGOs within the camp need urgent help and support on all levels

– Volunteers of these NGOs need any possible help to continue their duties in supporting people in and outside the camp

– We need any medical, food, health supplies

– We need Medic teams as soon as possible

– Otherwise expect a humanitarian crisis very soon

Yarmouck Camp is a great example of civil work and engagement, many NGOs are taking a huge responsibility to feed and heal around 200 thousand person, providing them with electricity and building up graves for falling people of the camp. Those organizations are in need for our full support and solidarity otherwise we can’t blame any single young civil activist for taking up a weapon and defending him self against the barbaric gangs of Assad.
